Let's say, on whim, you purchase a lottery ticket just for kicks. The next day you wake up around 10:30, realize you totally forgot to go to work, and just as you're trying to come up with a decent excuse for not showing up, you realize that you never checked to see the winner lotto numbers. So you sign online and....ok you got the first number but everyone gets the first number. But wait you have the second number...and the third...and HOLY HELL YOU HAVE ALL SIX. After you regain consciousness and not-so-calmly come to terms with the fact that you've just won 73.2 million dollars, you call up Taco Bell and quit. You don't need to make Gordita Bajas anymore. You're a millionaire.
But after quitting your job, what's the first thing you do? After taxes it's probably something like 40 million but that's still a pretty giant number. So what would your first purchase be? A new car? The biggest television ever made? Equitorial Guinea? Groceries?
Personally, I'd hire a blonde model to make strange open-mouthed happy faces while I threw small bills at her but that's just me.

Uh, no, duh. I'd buy more lottery tickets.
That, and I'd buy out Disney and fire all the stupid young "stars".
I'd prefer a brunette.
I'd use it to go to school out of the country and live there. Trust a nerd like me to spend lotto money on college first. >>
If I have a lot left over, I'll buy a koi pond for my turtles.

Retirement.
LOL @ opened mouth funny faces . I think I would pay off what little debt I had. that way they won't wait to sue me after I have bought all my overly priced stuff . Then I would have my dream home built way out in the middle of no where with a 30yard clearing on all sides complete with electrified fence. That way I can see all those crazy friends ( who when asked don't know my first name ) relatives ( those claiming to be related to me even though I have never seen them before in my life ) when they try to sneak up on me for hand outs.
Haha actually thats just a picture of a blonde making strange open-mouthed happy faces just standing there, the bills were added in photoshop. That makes it a bit funnier
My first purchase? Paying off all our bills. Lame I know. I'd also do lots of talking with my CPA. I have a small list of things to buy after that, but I'm smart so none of them are anything stupid or outrageous.
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - good plan. you could also afford to have them assassinated, which would be more satisfying.
I would buy some hot dude to be my sex slave. Owning people isn't illegal, is it?
@yourblondeness@xanga - It's only illegal if they don't like it.
I would buy my family a house somewhere tropical. Then probably buy a Ferrari Enzo, biggest TV I can find, and most bad ass stereo system I can find. I'd also travel to all the places I've ever wanted to go. Then finally invest the rest in a high yield interest account and live off my earnings for the rest of my life by playing every single video game I can buy. *sigh* Sounds like a good plan to me.
Buy a small island, build a nice resort there, and enjoy!
So many things I could do....most def a new car is probably my first purchase.
@yourblondeness@xanga - Lest you buy your own island nation...
I'd like an aquarium of cuttlefish.
Also, I'd buy several expensive things I would not have been able to obtain without said money.
Then, I'd put the rest of it to investment. When I get enough, I'll buy Sealand, become princess and live happily ever after.
Pay off my college bills. haha... buy a nice house, car, and make plans to make more money =D
I'd start my own anti-yankee candle company where the scents are not calming and invoke pleasant memories but conjure up traumatic and or embarrassing experiences.
@Dare2BDiferentt@xanga - That's what I was thinking. Thanks for confirming that for me.
@RunningMan42@xanga - Good plan also!
I think I'll go to a nice and expensive restaurant and eat something nice and expensive.
I would remodel my condo and pay off the mortgage for my ex sister in-law so when she retires as a methodist minister she has a nice place. She already owns it, I just rent it.
Then I would find a farm to buy close enough for me to still get to work. I won't be quitting my job.
I would hire my brother to work on the farm with me so he would have a solid job until he retires. The farm will be what I do after I retire until I can't any more then I will sell it and move into a small house on a little lake somewhere and go fishing until I die.
I would have a vasectomy within hours and would not remarry. I have 5 children and 3 ex's, I don't need more of either.
I would work on investments to ensure future income.
I would not spoil my children. They will learn to be self-reliant.
If I plan it right, I will pass on with next to nothing to fight over.
Spend some portion of it on things like houses and put the rest on a bank and live off on the interests.
New house, new car, lot's of luxuries, etc. But do you know how much weed you can get with that much!? I'd probably only get a couple ounces... then a week from there get another two... then another... then another...
@KrazeeKunoichi009@xanga - That's what I'd do... college first. Which is funny, because a lot of people would just stop working. But wouldn't you feel empty?
I would buy a house to live in, pay for my college, put about $1million into gold, and give the rest to charities. I don't need a lot of money, and I don't want a lot either. I would much rather have the things I need and not have to worry than do anything excessive. I would feel great guilt if I held onto a lot of money that could help others.
The best thing to invest in now'n days would be fast food. I know a guy who invested in Sonic.. not nearly as popular as Mc'D's.. and he's filthy rich. So, invest in something, take care of your money.. and soon you'll have a ton of hot people crawling all over you.
i would buy a car, get a condo with my fiance, get married, have a beautiful honeymoon, and save a good amount in the bank and live off the interest.
